Adipurush actress Kriti Sanon and director Om Prakash Raut visited the lord Venkateshwara temple in tirupati to seek blessings from God before the release of their mythological film Adipurush.
The duo were seen kissing goodbye while leaving. The video which is going viral online, shows Kriti hugging the filmmaker and other crew members as well.
Andhra Pradesh BJP leaders slammed Adipurush actor Kriti Sanon and Director Om Raut for hugging and kissing platonically outside the Tirumala Tirupati temple.
AP BJP state Secretary Ramesh Naidu took issue with thus platonic show of affection and tweeted saying, “Is it really necessary to bring your antics to a sacred place? Engaging in public displays of affection, like hugging and kissing, in front of the Lord Venkateswara Temple in Tirumala is deemed disrespectful and unacceptable.” He later deleted the tweet.
Speaking to Tv9 Telugu, Bhanu Prakash Reddy, BJP state official spokesperson said, “Why indulge in inappropriate things like hugging, kissing, flying kisses and act against the traditions of Tirumala Tirupati temple? It has hurt a lot of devotees of Lord Venkateswara and since the heroine, filmmaker behaved that way, they must apologise publicly. This is a holy place and not a shooting spot. TTD authorities should take this seriously.”
